Chapter 1608
Zhao Chi said, "A little over two months, right? Back when I hadn't yet joined the Breaking World Army."
Wei Jinlong immediately apologized, "Sorry, Zhao Chi, I didn't know that just now. Just take it as me talking nonsense."
Zhao Chi waved his hand, "No worries."
Zhao Chi knew Su Qin's charm.
After all, Zhao Chi was used to the top-quality ones like Gu Qing and the others, yet eating Su Qin still felt flavorful — that alone spoke volumes about her excellence.
Although Su Qin was utterly obedient in front of Zhao Chi, the very picture of a soft-spoken little woman, she could also hold her own out there, and was likewise the object of admiration for many.
A woman who could make the Eighth Academy's campus beauty candidate list had to have looks and figure that could really go the distance.
Although such lists were childish, childish things were often the most sincere expressions.
Lu Yi was also on this list.
Everyone chatted and drank as they went.
The more they drank, the more they drank.
The more they drank, the redder their faces.
They talked more, and their voices grew louder too.
The clamor was mixed with laughter.
Originally they had all been discussing and chatting together, but now basically everyone was tipsy, and their ears could barely make out what the other person was saying.
So now the crowd broke into twos and threes, beginning to talk nonstop with the person beside them.
Zhou Lve and Wei Jinlong seemed to have had some matter and bickered for a couple of lines; the other three teammates began to mediate.
Lu Yi, her face flushed all over, had switched seats with Zhao Chi and was whispering with Wei Li, whose face was equally flushed — no one knew what they were saying.
They had started with fruit wine, but later joined the ranks of those drinking hard liquor.
Cao Feng and Yang Xiong had been bickering the whole time. The drunk Cao Feng no longer pretended to be deep, and started showing off again — especially in front of Wei Li, constantly bragging about himself, but Yang Xiong kept undermining him, which made him very unhappy.
Lu Yi slumped weakly against the back of her chair and turned her head to stare at Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi smiled, "What's wrong, Lu Yi? Feeling sick from the drink?"
Lu Yi shook her head, "Zhao Chi, do you still remember the matter of you going to my house to study?"
Zhao Chi nodded, "Of course."
Lu Yi's eyes sparkled, "Then do you still remember why you came to my house to study?"
"Huh? Wasn't it because I had a head injury, so I needed to study?"
"Ugh, that's not what I'm asking." Lu Yi, bleary-eyed, said, "I'm asking when you all came to my house."
"Wasn't it because Instructor Li was busy and had no time to teach me, so she entrusted you to help me?"
"Heh."
Lu Yi laughed softly.
Her drunkenness was obvious, and her expression was a little stiff.
Her cheeks were rosy — truly a lovely face.
But Zhao Chi didn't know why — he felt she was laughing coldly.
Zhao Chi was completely baffled.
What had he said wrong?
He was currently in Body Constitution mode; at 10 points of constitution, although he couldn't claim to be undefeated by a thousand cups, being unable to fall after a hundred was still no problem.
Having drunk less than 10 cups of hard liquor so far, he was completely fine, his mind clear.
So he believed he hadn't said anything wrong.
Lu Yi, her face flushed red, laughed coldly, "I was tutoring you — why wasn't it at school but at my house? And in my room, no less?"
"Huh?"
Zhao Chi had thought about this question before, but only assumed Lu Yi didn't want to stay at school — after all, home was surely more comfortable.
Of course, Zhao Chi hadn't been in Lu Yi's boudoir, but in the living room outside the room.
But the entire house was Lu Yi's, so calling it her room wasn't wrong.
"Lu Yi, are you drunk?"
"Heh, can two cups of wine make me drunk?" Lu Yi's eyes were also a little red.
Cao Feng, who was chatting with Wei Li, heard and shouted loudly, "What? The wine I brought can't make you drunk? This is a one-cup-and-you're-down, proper good stuff!"
Wei Li saw Lu Yi and Zhao Chi sitting very close, talking intimately, so she quickly drew Cao Feng's attention, "Cao Feng, was what you just said true?"
Yang Xiong laughed coldly, "True, my ass! He's just bullshitting you!"
Cao Feng, displeased, "Bullshit! Which line of mine was bragging?"
Lu Yi ignored Cao Feng and continued, half-drunk and half-awake, "It wasn't Instructor Li who told me to help you review — I was the one who took the initiative and told Instructor Li I wanted to go help you. Did you know that?"
"There was such a thing?"
Zhao Chi truly didn't know.
Thinking about it now, Li Ruanyu indeed had never said she had arranged Lu Yi.
Zhao Chi had previously assumed that as class monitor, Lu Yi had a strong sense of responsibility, so she had been arranged by Li Ruanyu.
He had never expected at all that it was Lu Yi who had taken the initiative to request it?
Zhao Chi had truly had nothing back then, so he couldn't possibly have imagined such a thing.
He hadn't expected it was actually like this?
But why?
Lu Yi hummed with a laugh, "How come you never noticed at all? Going to my house every day and really studying seriously — you silly fool."
Zhao Chi's head was swelling.

What's happening with Lu Yi again?
But Lu Yi only got that far before her head lolled to one side and she slumped against Zhao Chi, falling into a drunken sleep.
Zhao Chi really had no idea what to do with her.
Wei Li saw Zhao Chi's predicament and immediately stood up, coming over to say, "Let me take her."
Zhao Chi swapped seats with her, and Lu Yi leaned against Wei Li.
Cao Feng had been having a great chat with Wei Li, but he hadn't expected Wei Li had actually been keeping an eye on Zhao Chi the whole time. When she suddenly stood up, Cao Feng stared blankly at her back.
Yang Xiong burst out laughing. "Hahaha, nobody's listening to your bragging anymore, huh? Stop looking and pick up your cup! Zhou Lue, Wei Jinlong, what the hell are you two arguing about? Haven't you drunk enough? Let's all have another round!"
The few of them raised their cups again.
Wei Li's cheeks were extremely red.
Like they were burning coals.
Zhao Chi was genuinely afraid she might catch fire: "Are you okay?"
Wei Li's eyes were misty: "I'm fine. I make my living with my constitution, so this little bit of alcohol is nothing."
"That's good then."
Seeing that Lu Yi was already done for and everyone had drunk about enough, Yang Xiong contacted Lu Yi's older sister to come pick her up.
Lu Yi's older sister, Lu Qing, was also a Lord.
Her looks were a notch below Lu Yi's, but still decent.
After entering the room and greeting everyone, she punched Yang Xiong: "How could you let Lu Yi drink so much?"
Yang Xiong explained: "What I let her drink earlier was fruit wine. I didn't know when she'd had too much."
The group exchanged glances—there's definitely something going on between Yang Xiong and Lu Qing!
Lu Qing said nothing more, gently lifted Lu Yi from Wei Li, bade farewell to everyone, and left.
The whole room immediately exploded.
Under intense questioning, it turned out there really was something going on.
Cao Feng, green with envy, punched him too. Yang Xiong just laughed heartily and didn't mind.
Lu Yi had already left, so everyone got up one after another, preparing to leave.
Zhao Chi was the most sober, so he went downstairs first to settle the bill.
It turned out Yang Xiong had already left a few gold coins with the shop ahead of time and paid everything off.
The group said their goodbyes at the restaurant entrance and quickly teleported away.
"Zhao Chi, wait a moment."
Wei Li grabbed Zhao Chi's sleeve.
People were coming and going nearby, but Wei Li didn't bother avoiding appearances.
